June 28th Swimming with Erin, Andrea & Eliza
I love summer! All the time in the world to catch up on housecleaning and laundry and plenty of time in the afternoon to play. My visiting teacher came to my house to visit teach today and Erin and her girls kept me company swimming while watching Rachel and Eliza swim.

June 22nd Swimming with Erinn & Christopher Ward
I stopped by my good friend Korie Ward's house after the girls piano lessons last Tuesday and visited for a while and then took Erinn and Christopher home with me to swim with the kids. After swimming we went to tumbling/Kindergym. Christopher took the class as David's guest and they both had lots of fun.

Damian & Danielle's Wedding
My brother Damian's wedding was this last Saturday June 26th. It was held at the Napa Valley Country Club and it was beautiful. Danielle was stunningly beautiful and Damian seemed absolutely HAPPY! My camera does a pretty good job outside but I haven't yet figured out how to take a clear picture in low light indoors at night so if anyone has any tips for me I'd appreciate it. Even so I love this smilebox because it has so many people that I love in it!

Sleep Overs, Swimming and Blue Berry Pancakes
Teaghan spent the night with Julia Monday after FHE swimming...the girls stayed up until 3 something in the morning! After blueberry pancakes and a morning swim they relaxed on the couch reading together until Teaghan got picked up to go home. Rachel as always wanted to be just like big sister and read with the big girls too. David is always up for a snuggle even when "playing guns".
Super David's Cape
On Sunday April 11th, Janelle Durrant, my new visiting teaching companion knocked on my door Sunday afternoon after church to surprise David with a super cute little cape she had made him. I was going through my pictures and I can't believe I forgot to do a post but better late than never. Janelle is so awesome as a visiting teaching companion! David has had such a great time playing with this little cape I can not even tell you how much he has loved playing with it!
Thanks Janelle!
Thanks Janelle!
Super David flying through the air, (with a little help from Jared).
Rachel tied a pillow case around her shoulders so she could play Super Girl.

A Day at Home in May
I started out the day taking pictures of David playing in his new firetruck with a real working hose that my Mom bought David for his birthday present. (His birthday is not until Aug. but my Mom couldn't pass up the great sale price on this "perfect for David" gift; so he got his present early this year!). Then when Rachel and David went outside to play with the firetruck and water the plants their cute exclamations of surprise at seeing the first lily of the year open was so adorable, then they were so cute working together watering the plants, one pumping and the other one using the hose, taking turns. Rachel found a lady bug and showed David and then let him hold it, he was excited but a little scared too when it started climbing from his thumb up to his wrist when he stopped being scared and said, "It's ticklely!" Mean while Julia had decided to make ginger bread cookie men. Rachel read David "The Gingerbread Man" and by the time Rachel was finished Julia had the cookies ready. I have felt so busy all the time lately, always having something I have to go do; but this last Monday was a day I was able to just stay home all day and enjoy the sweetness of my three youngest children: such a blessing.
The first video is of David telling Grammy thank you for his firetruck. The second one is of him eating his gingerbread man:)

Trip to Monterey
Sheldon won a trip to Monterey so we took Jared and Julia with us and left Rachel and David at home with Cami and Brandon. We tried to get Rachel and one of the older kids to go because Rachel didn't get to go when Jared and Julia went to Disney Land with Nonnie but as soon as she found out Cami was going to baby-sit her she wanted to stay home to be with Cami. Her picture and journal page told the reasons why...I love the "She almost said yes to everything!"

Julia's First Talk in Sacrament
Julia gave her first talk in Sacrament meeting today. She was asked to speak on developing her divine nature. She did an awesome job! I am so proud of the young woman she is becoming. She is so beautiful both inside and out!!!
Piano/Voice Recital 2010
Julia and Rachel arrived early to practice their
songs and to warm up their voices...
David sat quietly through most of the hour long recital with the promise that there would be cookies at the end. As soon as we stood up he was asking, "Can we get cookies now?!"
Rachel was allergic to all the cookies but was happy to drink pink punch.
Rachel singing/playing "Lavender's Blue" (I only got the
last third of it, then singing "In The Leafy Treetops".
Rachel playing "All Together/Alouette Medley"
and then "Ode to Joy" Love her little curtsie at
the end!
Julia singing/playing Red River Valley

Strawberries for Dessert
While I was outside tonight watering my parched plants I noticed that a lot of the strawberries were getting ripe! Rachel got David a bowl and he picked himself a fresh bowl of strawberries for dessert!
Telling me I need to wash them so he can eat them now.
David likes to eat his strawberries with the tops cut
Telling me I need to wash them so he can eat them now.
David likes to eat his strawberries with the tops cut off but left whole and always with a fork.
He was very stingy with sharing "his" bowl of strawberries; I was able to sneak a few while I washed them but Jared was only able to talk him out of one.

Brandon & Little Sisters
Our oldest son Brandon came over last Thursday to service our pool and I took a picture of him with his little sisters Julia and Rachel. Pretty soon he will have his own little baby girl...I'm so excited for little Zoe to be here...August seems forever away!
